High School softball became a sanctioned high school sport in Kentucky in 1995.  Kentucky Prep Softball was created by Jim McAlister in 1996 in conjunction with the Kentucky Softball Coaches Association and Jackie McCloud (George Rogers Clark) to start an annual allstar event, to have a weekly top 25 ranking of high school teams, and to help promote high school fastpitch softball in Kentucky.  Since 1996, Kentucky Prep Softball has expanded from a Senior Allstar Weekend with 2 games to a Senior/Junior Allstar weekend with 6 games.  In 1998, Jim started honoring individuals with the Kentucky Prep Softball Hall of Fame.  In 2006, the Kentucky-Tennessee Series for seniors was added.

JIM MCALISTER – Jim passed away Tuesday afternoon, June 15, 2021 at home. 

After Kentucky Prep Softball began in 1996, Jim served as Director until his death in 2021. There have been others that have helped along the way, but without Jim's leadership, we do not have any of this in the magnitude that it is today.  We all owe him a big debt of gratitude.  His wife Cathy has always helped and been involved, but in more recent years, she has taken on a huge role with keeping this going. Today, Kentucky Prep Softball still holds the East-West game and selects a Hall of Fame thanks to the efforts of Cathy McAlister, Tracy Spickard, Dave Frankrone, and several other coaches (active and retired).
